Elvis Lives in Erie PA

Calling All Rodders,

Elvis Lives in Erie, PA! Tonight down at the weekly "Cruise the Bay" event we had the pleasure of seeing and hearing the king.

He arrived at 7:00 pm. There was a whole lot of Shakin Going On! A Hunka Hunka Burning Love was dancing and performing for the crowds.

Cars lined the park as we all gather round to hear our favorite tunes from the King!

Erie's own Jim Moore was there to make our 50's night complete. We always have a great time on Monday Nights at the Park n Ride in Erie PA on the Bayfront Highway.
Cars, Music, Food, and Entertainment is planned each week.

If you haven't made it down make sure you scheduled us in before summer slips away from us again.

See ya at the next car event!

Buggin State Street 2009

Calling All Rodders,

It's Summer ( I think) in Erie PA. That means its time to cruise the dock and Bug State Street. Anyone who grew up in this area knows that a great Friday or Saturday
Evening was jumping in the car and heading for the dock and cruise up and down state street was in order.

This tradition is again in full production as car owners from all over headed down to State Street in Erie for the first Buggin State of 2009.

I think the weather in the early part of the day out in the county may have cautioned a few people from coming down as the turn out was heavy but seemed to be a few cars shy of last years event.

But if you missed it there will be two more events, one in Aug and one in Sept. Check the events schedule on www.callingallrodders.com for more information.

The evening was filled will cars and food and music up and down state street. Every make and model, old and new, restored and in the process, a great family event.

And again it went off with of a hitch and the community enjoyed another Buggin State Street. A complete success!! Thanks to you all.

See ya at the next car event!

Uncle Charlie's Pizza Car Cruise

Calling All Rodders,

Hi Cruisers, Another night another car cruise! There are plenty of cruises in the area just about any night of the week.

Tonight we drove over to Edinboro, and again plenty of cruisers turned out to show and go. The parking lot was lined up with cruisers from all over. Some new cruisers and some of the old favorites. This is a nice show and is held usually on Tuesdays once a month. Check the schedule of events on www.callingallrodders.com for their next event.

DJ Bill Mason was there to play our favorite tunes, door prizes and 50-50's, the air was chilly but the cruisers hung in there and made this another successful event.

So make a point to run out to the next Cruise In at Uncle Charlie's Pizza Pub.
See at the next car event!

Cruise the Bay Hawaiin Night

Calling All Rodders,

There were lots of grass skirts and flowered leis around the bayfront Monday Night. They were all there to help us have fun at the annual Hawaiian Night for Cruise the Bay participants.

Many joined in the activities and the Hula Hoop contest was a favorite. The adults and children joined in the fun. Our Hula Hoop winners were...Kids...Jennifer Kuhn, Cassie Anderson, Madison Kennedy...Adults...Jill Dimattio, Kitty Holtz, Carol Struchen, Michelle Scheffner. There is always something for everyone to do at the Monday Night Car Cruise.

I want to add alittle note on where we are located. It seems we had a few people having trouble finding us last Monday. We are located at the Park n Ride Facility off the Bayfront Highway next to Sloppy Duck Restaurant. Take I-79 North until it turns into the Bayfront Highway, follow the Bayfront Highway to the water we will be on your left next to the boats in front of Liberty Park.

Another quick note most of you know there was an incident on the Bayfront Highway due to the illegal Burn outs being done. The Park Authority has ask that these burn outs stop and we have asked that they stop also. But a few of you insist on continuing to participate in these burn outs. Someone is going to get hurt and last night incident is a prime example of what can happen in a moments time. Please reconsider participating in this activity, and help keep our event safe. We need to be responsible.

See ya at the next car event!
